So you buy a great COTS robot. You put it together with a single 9/16" wrench. Awesome. Time to go win a regional?

Of course not. There's so much other stuff to do. Develop a great drive team. Write the software to make the robot move. Now write the software to optimize it, give driver feedback, do autonomous modes, etc. Learn to take apart and fix every bit of the robot inside a cramped space with limited tools and not enough time. Go get some more sponsors. Plan fundraisers. Do a robot reveal video. Do your chairman's video...

We have a long to-do list between now and our first regional...
Yes we agree on this and I pointed that out previously as well.
The question isn't really whether there's anything left to do.
The question is whether what we took off was valued at all by FIRST FRC.
